The blurbs for two other stops mention Moore: the description of the Royal College of Art (Scarlet Walk) names Moore as an alumnus; Moore is mentioned as an influence on Michael Chapman, whose In the Beginning aka Christ Child at St. Martin-in-the-Fields is included on the Turquoise Walk (Covent Garden).

Various other locations with connections to Moore's life and sculpture are visited on the walks, including Tate Britain, British Museum, and the Hayward Gallery.
